Customer Showcase
Insurance Australia Group’s Story: Scaling Innovation and The Extraordinary Role of Language

Platform transformations are hard. And new capabilities are only as powerful as the uses to which they’re applied. What’s going on in people’s minds is just as important - if not more important - than what’s happening behind their screens. In this session, Neil Morgan, COO of Insurance Australia Group, will outline IAG’s work to drive inclusive innovation, harnessing the power of language to reach beyond technical capabilities and the promise of Gen AI. Neil will share stories illustrating the value of an innovative mindset during a crisis, how 15 painful minutes became 15 painless seconds, and how just seven words can change a life.

COO, Insurance Australia Group Limited

Thought Leadership Session
Ensuring the Economic Viability of Insurance

Insurers globally are facing a confluence of macroeconomic pressures like climate driven losses and inflation at a scale that has not been seen before. That is changing the exposures we cover to the point that the traditional products and approaches we’ve used may no longer be viable. Learn how we can take a new approach to risk selection, pricing and the insurance products themselves to ensure the long term health of our industry. Given the importance of insurance in enabling the entire world economy, this is about ensuring the economic viability of our industry and the global economy.
